Fashion Trends

Wardrobe melt-down? Going to a wedding and don't know what to wear? See the latest trends in the glossy mags, but no idea where to start?

It happens to us all, but we've enlisted the help of a top fashion stylist to help us pick out the best of what's in the shops, and how to pull some fabulous - and on-trend looks together - without breaking into a cold sweat.

So take advantage of your own celebrity stylist, and nick the entire look (no one will ever know!) - or cherry pick some of this month's most fabulous pieces.

And to make it even easier, everything's available in Buchanan Galleries right here in Glasgow.

Sarong

You can't go wrong with a sarong. Sorry for the pun, but it's true. Wrap it round to give yourself a bit of cover and take yourself down to the pool/beach/bar. Drape it alluringly over to hide any bits you want to hide away or protect from the sun (or prying eyes). There are 101 ways to tie it - practise to find the ones that best suit your shape...

Get it from:
Sarong: Tie Rack £14.99
Purple bikini: La Senza £20
Bangles: Next £10
Jewel Necklace: Next £10
Necklace: Thomas Sabo £239
